WPTV must be preparing for Jim Sackett’s departure because this week they changed their anchor lineup.
The station is introducing Michael Williams to viewers by pairing him with Kelley Dunn at 5:30pm, leaving Shannon Cake and Jay Cashmere as anchors of the 5pm newscast on WPTV and the 10pm on WFLX. Dunn will continue to anchor the 6pm and 11pm newscasts with Jim Sackett who is expected to retire soon.
The change should also help ease Shannon Cake’s work load, which allegedly became an issue after they appointed her anchor of the late news on WFLX in addition to already anchoring at 5:30pm and being WPTV’s investigative reporter.
WPTV are also hiring an investigative producer…
Shannon Cake is one of the few talented people West Palm Beach. Hard-worker.

Great to see Michael Williams as the point person again for a newscast. A real journalist with real experience serving the community. The station has a real treasure to build on with him in their stable.
